Book Setting the Stage

Download or read book Setting the Stage written by Eddo Hartmann and published by Cannibal Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -One of the few western photographers allowed access to the capital of North Korea, Eddo Hartmann captures the surreal character of North Korean ambition -Published to accompany an exhibition at the Museum Huis van Marseille in Amsterdam In Setting the Stage: North Korea photographer Eddo Hartmann shows the North Korean regime's ambitions to build the ultimate socialist city and to mould the people living in that city to their ideals. Hartmann is one of very few Western photographers who has been allowed almost full access to the country. This publication is the result of many years of research and four visits to Pyongyang. After the total destruction of Pyongyang during the Korean War (1950-53), the government took its chance to rebuild the capital from scratch and to turn it into the perfect setting for their propaganda. Pyongyang was to become the city in which every North Korean could experience true modern socialism. The buildings were to be the utopian background against which the inhabitants could live their daily lives. Pyongyang was to immortalize the socialist revolution. Eddo Hartmann had the exceptional opportunity to photograph this architecture of artificiality. In a series of evocative images, he captures the forced and almost surreal character of North Korean ambition. In a very personal and original style, Hartmann focuses on the individual.

Book Transnational Crime and Black Spots

Download or read book Transnational Crime and Black Spots written by Stuart S. Brown and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The strength of this book is that it does not look at a single case or even a few disparate examples of drug, weapon, and human trafficking but looks at many patterns—intra-regionally, cross-nationally, and internationally. It is an innovative addition to the literature on the nature of the safe havens—or ‘black spots’—currently being used for illicit activity. This book will make a clear impact on the scholarship of transnational crime and the geopolitics of the illicit global economy.” —Jeremy Morris, Aarhus University, Denmark Transnational criminal, insurgent, and terrorist organizations seek places that they can govern and operate from with minimum interference from law enforcement. This book examines 80 such safe havens which function outside effective state-based government control and are sustained by illicit economic activities. Brown and Hermann call these geographic locations ‘black spots’ because, like black holes in astronomy that defy the laws of Newtonian physics, they defy the world as defined by the Westphalian state system. The authors map flows of insecurity such as trafficking in drugs, weapons, and people, providing an unusually clear view of the hubs and networks that form as a result. As transnational crime is increasing on the internet, Brown and Hermann also explore if there are places in cyberspace which can be considered black spots. They conclude by elaborating the challenges that black spots pose for law enforcement and both national and international governance.

Book Setting the Stage for Sustainabilty

Download or read book Setting the Stage for Sustainabilty written by Chris Maser and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-05-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As humans, we make choices. With change as a constant, we are continually presented with a number of choices, and we must choose. The change represented by the divergence of humanity from the rest of the world is rapidly growing, and in need of transformation. Setting the Stage for Sustainable Community Development is a guide for that transformation, which can help to create a sense of "place" where it did not previously exist. This invaluable text looks at resolving environmental conflicts through a "transformative" rather than a "problem-solving" approach. The transformative approach emphasizes the capacity of facilitation for personal growth. The text analyzes good and bad institutionalized social patterns in an ecological sense. The authors believe that through positive thinking and the willingness to take risks, we can become creative forces in our communities and in the world.

Book S BPM ONE  Setting the Stage for Subject Oriented Business Process Management

Download or read book S BPM ONE Setting the Stage for Subject Oriented Business Process Management written by Hagen Buchwald and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-11-19 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a selection of papers from the First Workshop on Subject- Oriented Business Process Management (S-BPM ONE). Establishing a multi- and cross-disciplinary interchange of underyling and applied concepts, successful appli- tion studies, and innovative development ideas, the workshop emphasized the pro- tive realization of role- or actor-oriented modeling on the basis of exchanging m- sages when accomplishing tasks. The workshop was organized as a forum for the discussion of foundations, achievements, reflections, and further developments. In this way, its contributions not only addressed the current state of the art, but also the various lines of research and development, either running or planned. The state of the art is reflected in terms of concepts, modeling language, and tool features on the one hand. On the other hand, it is reflected through the discussion of industrial case studies. These indicate the current practice when implementing the subject-oriented BPM paradigm in industrial settings. By challenging conceptual foundations they also allow us to define a common ground for future developments in research and practice. The S-BPM ONE contributions focus on challenges arising from the evolution of service-oriented architectures and the need for more flexible business organizations. The latter require coherent and adaptive representation and processing techniques for business process modeling and execution. Corresponding technologies have to be grounded in theories of computer science, in order to provide an adequate infrastr- ture for thorough BPM including technology-enhanced change management.

Book Transitional Playwrights in Irish

Download or read book Transitional Playwrights in Irish written by Philip O'Leary and published by . This book was released on 2021-10 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was no native tradition of theatre in Irish. Thus, language revivalists were forced to develop the genre ex nihilo if there was to be a Gaelic drama that was not entirely made up of translations. The earliest efforts to do so at the beginning of the 20th century were predictably clumsy at best, and truly dreadful at worst. Yet by the 1950s, a handful of Gaelic playwrights were producing plays in Irish worthy of comparison not only with those by their Irish contemporaries working in English but also with drama being produced elsewhere in Europe as well as in North America.
